  6. Dry ice plan to keep leaves off railway trackspublished at 08:15 British Summer Time 4 October 2021

    University engineers have come up with a method designed to reduce railway delays by keeping tracks clear of leaves.

    The technique, developed by a team at the University of Sheffield, involves blasting tracks with dry ice from a passenger train.

    Operator Northern will trial the process in the coming weeks.

    Leaves on railway lines form a slippery layer, forcing trains to run at slower speeds.

    Currently, they are cleared by 61 special trains, which use high-pressure water jets followed by a gel containing sand and steel grains to help with braking.

    Under the new method, pellets of dry ice are fired in a stream of air, making leaves frozen and brittle.

    The dry ice then quickly turns back into gas, causing it to expand and destroy the leaves.
